Last week, FOX aired the finale of their Second Chance TV show. Will the series be cancelled or renewed for a second season? Should it get a “second chance” from the network?
On Second Chance, a sheriff named Jimmy Pritchard left his office in disgrace. As a younger man, Jimmy often ignored his family in favor of work and carousing. Unhappy and unwell at 75 years old, he’s killed but gets a second chance when his body is regenerated by some experimental technology. Can Jimmy get things right the second time around? The cast includes Rob Kazinsky, Tim DeKay, Dilshad Vadsaria, Adhir Kalyan, Ciara Bravo, and Vanessa Lengies.
The series debuted on Wednesday, January 13th, and attracted a 1.2 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 4.71 million viewers. That wasn’t a pretty poor start. In week two, the numbers dropped about 20% to a 0.98 in the demo with 3.75 million viewers.
The network wasted no time and sent Second Chance packing to Friday nights, switching timeslots with venerable Hell’s Kitchen.
To no surprise, the numbers took a big hit on Friday nights, dropping lower than perhaps than even FOX execs expected. Over the course of its run, Second Chance fell to a 0.5 demo rating with just 1.78 million viewers.
With ratings like these, there seems to be no way that FOX will be renewing Second Chance for a second season. The numbers are just too low, even for a struggling network like FOX.
But, what do you think? Do you like Second Chance? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
I lovvveee this show ! I hope they will renew it !
Excellent show, I thoroughly enjoy watching.I really hope they renew!
Yes. Please have at least a second season. Don’t cancel like Forever was.
Please renew it. This is a great show!
Please don’t cancel!!!!
I just found this show and really enjoyed it. I hope it is renewed.
Renew, plz. Especially now that Otto is part of the OS. Fun!
Great show, give it a chance to grow.
I really love this show. It ended with me wanting to know more and see what will happen next. It has some possibilities with what it will evolve into that is very interesting and intriguing. I certainly hope it won’t be cancelled and will continue on to a second season.
Awesome show. I hope they keep it on. I think the title, unless you actually watch the show, is misleading. The original titles, The Frankenstein Code or Looking Glass, would have had a more science fiction feel to it and probably would have pulled more male viewers whereas Second Chance has a romantic feel to it if you’re just flipping through the program guide or channels. With that said, I was not aware of the original titles and tuned in out curiosity and was immediately hooked and actually thought the writers were leaning towards him slowly (which I liked) becoming… Read more »
I think most shows need a season before it catches on. I get so tired of liking new shows that get cancelled. Most people I talk to have no idea that these shows exist because they are watching something else. That’s why I repeat that sometimes it takes more than the first season. I have lost so many good shows like The Messengers and Looking on HBO because they only had one season.
I like this show! The reason Fox is a struggling network is because people like me are hesitant to watch a new Fox show because you get attached and then they cancel it! This has happened more times than I can count! When a network is that fickle, it makes you not want to get attached. Still.. This show grabbed me and I love it. Don’t cancel another one of my faves. Please!
Liked the show – certainly a new and different plot, Interesting development of characters. Please renew
Liked the show. Do not cancel.
I really enjoyed the Second Chance story line. Thought the acting was excellent and I was very much taken in by the development of the characters. I truly hope that Second Chance gets a second chance and comes back for a second season.
